Now Foods, Glucomannan, 575 mg, 180 Capsules

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Description

Healthy Weight Management

From Konjac Root

Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels

Promotes Feelings of Fullness

Supports Regularity

GMP Quality Assured

A Dietary Supplement

Glucomannan is a soluble, bulk-forming fiber derived from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). Clinical studies have demonstrated that glucomannan can provide temporary relief of constipation and may help to maintain serum lipid levels already within the healthy range. In addition, because Glucomannan helps to promote satiety (feeling of fullness), it can be an effective addition to a weight management plan that includes a healthy diet and exercise program.

Suggested Use

As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules daily with a least 8 oz. of water 30-45 minutes before a meal.

Other Ingredients

Gelatin (capsule), silica and magnesium stearate (vegetable source).

Warnings

Caution: For adults only. Take this product as recommended. Without drinking enough liquid the product may swell in the throat, causing blockage or choking. Avoid use if you ever had esophageal narrowing or swallowing difficulties. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

Great for hunger, not for cravings

I try to eat 3-4 decent sized healthy meals everyday. Sometimes in between meals I get cravings, sometimes true hunger.
Anyway, taking 3 of these plus one Garcinia 1000 works for hunger. I am able to wait until my next meal without snacking.
As for cravings, well when I get a craving, it's bad!
So, even if I take these pills, my hunger does go away, but if the craving is bad enough, I eat anyway. The only thing that I can do for that is to remind myself that I'm not really hungry and I need to have the willpower to not "pig out"...easier said than done, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Overall I recommend this, it's a great price for so many capsules.

Awful stuff

This stuff made me feel all bloated and gave me the absolutely stinkiest gas I have ever had in my life. It also plugged me up instead of having the opposite effect. Prior to taking this I maintained regular BM with acidophilus and kefir taken nightly. While taking glucomannan I was fairly constipated and I drink a lot of water. It had no effect on my weight at all.

Works

I started taking 3 as recommended but found they upset my bowels. I switched to 1 about 2pm and find that is about perfect for stopping that urge to eat I used to get about 4pm. I am going to use them with the 5:2 diet. Will keep taking them.
